Hey. Do you still have those clarion smaller sized remotes you wanna sell me?

Last year or 2 they had this part when I was having this issue. I believe I contacted marinemax in pompano beach, FL Maybe they can Ship it to you if they still have the part. I ended up just removing mine entirely.

It was debris sitting on top of that fitting in the manifold (right above the threaded area) So water could not flow into the manifold. The fitting pictured had a light rust residue which I cleaned out. There appears to be a moving mechanism inside of this which was stuck (not sure if open or...

My response is for my engine, I never said all engines are designed that way. I have a 8.1 496 big block, same as the original motor on this post

Exhaust manifolds are cooled by raw water. Which then gets expelled through the risers and out the back.

Ended up being that fitting that goes at the bottom of the exhaust manifold. At the lowest part of the manifold where the water goes in was blocked by a thin layer of rust that was blocking water flow. I took out the fitting, cleaned it. Then cleaned out the water entry into the manifold, with...

yes. The kit came with a new wear plate.

Yeah. The pump is 100%, impeller just changed a few months ago. Will have to inspect everything. thanks.

So the port side water exiting is very hot compared to starboard side. Much more water coming out on the starboard side. Is this normal? I don’t remember how it was before. it’s my understanding that the port side does run a bit hotter. while touching the risers at normal 158 degrees temp I can...

Definitely displayed OVERTEMP (maybe I missed something) because the error code disappeared after it got into idle. Although the other three or four times that ithe beep went off there was no message on the dash. so you think my sensors are bad at the manifold? I changed the sensors out about 2...

I changed out that gasket last year. Mine was also expanded. Thanks for the tip. water flow appears to be normal. the water coming out the rear during backwash seems a bit hot in my opinion though. mom my other boat the water was warm if I remember correctly but on this one it’s hot. Anyone...

So did you ever find the cause? Was it the actual manifolds or do you think it was that plugged up fitting? I’m having the same issue. my temp gauge reads 179 at 3/4 throttle or 3,500rpm when guardian mode kicks in. runs fine at 3,000 rpm. 172 degrees at gauge. why is it kicking it into guardian...

I would like to add that I have captains call exhaust and just noticed 2 weeks ago that when I have lots of weight in the stern area, water leaks in through that area. That being said I think water is also getting in through the layers of fiber glass in that area. I had water intrusion...

Today when I replaced my bilge pump switch (because it was sticking) I removed the 3 screws holding it down. When I removed it, water started gushing out of the screw holes. ( boat is on the trailer) Wtf? Anyone here experience this? It eventually stopped but still curious how water can get in...

Unbelievable. Did you check your fuse. There is one dedicated for the DTS by the fluid for the trim. Should be labeled DTS. it’s been a while and anything I can remember I’ll be glad to help you out.

So my 270 2007 slx with 496 engine overheat alarm is going off. But my running temp after a cruise at 3000 rpm’s is about 174 degrees. I turn the boat off and turn it back on and it “resets” the smart craft and I can get to my destination without any more alarms. I have already changed the temp...

done. New gaskets installed and exchanger cleaned. Hope to get a good test run this weekend. Just wanted to get input if the gaskets alone can cause overheating.

Well they aren’t necessarily blocking the Honeycomb passages.

So My mercruiser 496 has been overheating a bit. Changed impeller, bacflushed oil cooler, checked riser hoses, changed out coolant and inspected other hoses. The last thing I did now was clean the heat exchanger. Pulled off the end caps and found that it was clogged about 15%, cleaned It out...

So I had a leak in the raw water pump which sprayed salt water on front part of engine. It mainly got on the other pulleys. Any pointers on how to remove the rust that it created. remove belt, spray with what, clean up after with? don’t want to spend too much time on this. Yes I already fixed...
